Real Time Marker Position Updates

[mattsmith94 10]

I am trying to update the position of the marker when the gun is fired. The marker will create but will not update after the first shot.

 

EH

 

(_pick) addEventHandler ["fired",
{
call myFunction;
_unit = _this select 0;
_unitloc = getPosASL _unit;
hint format ["%1 Location",(getPosASL _unit)];
while {a < b} do {"YourMarker" setMarkerPos _unitloc;};
   _marker = createMarker ["YourMarker", _unitloc ];


"YourMarker" setMarkerType "mil_triangle";
"YourMarker" setMarkerSize [1, 1];
"YourMarker" setMarkerDir 0.93884;
"YourMarker" setMarkerColor "ColorRed";


}];

and Here is the full script 

 

_Array1 = [];
_Array2 = [];
GBL_BulletsFired = 0;
//
{
   if (side _x isEqualTo EAST) then
   {
    _x sideChat "You are an Enemy!";
    _Array1 = _Array1 + [_x];
    sleep 0.5;
   };


} forEach allUnits;




_count = count _Array1;
for "_i" from 0 to _count do
{


_total = (count _Array1);
//hint format ["Array Total: %1",_total];
//sleep 2;
if (_total==0) exitwith {hint "Script Setup Complete"};


_rnd = floor (random _total);
//hint format ["Random Number: %1",_rnd];
//sleep 2;


_pick = _Array1 select _rnd;
//hint format ["Soldier Picked: %1",_pick];
//sleep 2;
_Array1 = _Array1 - [_pick];
//hint format ["%1 has been removed from _Array1",_pick];
//sleep 2;


_Array2 = _Array2 + [_pick];
//hint format ["%1 has been added to _Array2",_pick];
//sleep 2;




(_pick) addEventHandler ["fired",
{
call myFunction;
_unit = _this select 0;
_unitloc = getPosASL _unit;
hint format ["%1 Location",(getPosASL _unit)];
while {a < b} do {"YourMarker" setMarkerPos _unitloc;};
   _marker = createMarker ["YourMarker", _unitloc ];


"YourMarker" setMarkerType "mil_triangle";
"YourMarker" setMarkerSize [1, 1];
"YourMarker" setMarkerDir 0.93884;
"YourMarker" setMarkerColor "ColorRed";


}];




};


myFunction =
{
GBL_BulletsFired = GBL_BulletsFired + 1;
hint format ["Shots Fired: %1",GBL_BulletsFired];


};

Could you elaborate on what it is you want exactly? So it starts off with no marker, then when a unit fires a marker appears at his location? Then what? It follows him around forever?

What is this doing? what is "a" what "b"?

  while {a < b} do {"YourMarker" setMarkerPos _unitloc;};
